Michelle Lischinsky (born August 15, 1974) is a Canadian former swimmer who specialized in backstroke events.[1] She represented Canada, as a 25-year-old, at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and also trained for the Manitoba Swim Club, under her longtime coach and mentor Vlastimil Černý, a Czech-born swimmer who competed in the 100-metre butterfly at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.[2]
Lischinsky competed only in two swimming events at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She finished behind her teammate Kelly Stefanyshyn from the Olympic Trials in Montreal with a FINA A-cut of 1:02.89.[3][4] In the 100-metre backstroke, Lischinsky failed to qualify for the top 8 final, as she finished her semifinal run in a thirteenth-seeded time of 1:02.55.[5][6][7] Six days later, in the 4×100-metre medley relay, the Canadians managed to settle for sixth place in the final at 4:07.55.[8] Teaming with Christin Petelski, Jen Button, and Laura Nicholls in the prelims, Lischinsky led off a backstroke leg and recorded a split of 1:03.32.[9]
